I needed a data logger and bought a Raspberry Pi.
It should be able to be a decent Terminal - I haven't checked on how well it could do 80x24 or better but it should.
It uses USB keyboard and composite/HDMI (or DVI with adapter) for $35.00.
It can handle 2.5A @ 5v but that is almost all USB power, a much smaller power supply could be used if wanted.
It runs several OS's which already handles everything (display, keyboard/mice/other USB devices.
And most USB devices could be attached to slave to a host computer (S100).
This means USB printers and all sorts of USB drives.
It could be mounted on a S100 card for parallel communication or via serial port using either a USB to serial adapter or using it's 40 pin GPIO.
Quick and dirty terminal with just a USB dongle, or full blown by hooking up to parallel interface (or high speed serial).
